From ESA’s mission control in Darmstadt, Germany, spacecraft are flown in Earth orbit; taking the pulse of our unique planet, and across the Solar System; exploring our local environment and looking out to the universe beyond.
It is from here, too, that we keep watch over hazards in space – from solar flares to asteroids to space debris – working to mitigate these risks, keeping us, and the infrastructure we’ve come to rely on, safe.

Your chance to name the next space weather mission
ESA needs you. We need a name for our new spacecraft. Its mission? To spot potentially hazardous solar storms before they reach Earth.
We speak to Jussi Luntama, ESA's Head of Space Weather about the mission, why it needs a new name, and what kind of submissions he's hoping for.
